Comments on Change Hostname (ROOT) for Android

★★★★★ Does exactly what it says My AOSP ROM doesn't have the change host name option in dev options. Being to lazy to edit my build.prop this app made it stupid easy

★★★★★ Great App - When it works!! This is a handy problem solver. It works on LG and Samsung phones I have, but it doesn't work on HTC phones I have. Thanks for developing this application.

★★★★★ SGS3 Works well and will prompt and provide store link if BusyBox is missing/needs update.

★★★★★ Works on Xoom EOS 3.0 Stable Just had to update busy box, which the app guided me to, now I have the right hostname, thanks!

★★☆☆☆ Cannot change host name on reboot

★★☆☆☆ Useless, because it does not change hostname on reboot Always generates same hostname: "Android-GT-I9505". While it notifies after reboot that "Hostname has been changed", it is in fact again the same hostname. To be useful it would need to generate a random hostname on every reboot (or pressing the Generate button).

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work Says my busybox is wrong although it is up-to-date. (Another hostname changer worked just fine.)
